The star-studded Oscars ceremony is coming to an end.
There is no doubt that the big winner this time is "Gladiator", which won six Oscars out of twelve nominations. However, compared to the two more valuable awards, "The Pursuit of Happiness" came out on top.
Became a dark horse!
Poor Colombia, poor "Muhammad Ali", just got a trophy!
Time flies, and after the singing and dancing in the last scene, the three-and-a-half-hour 73rd Academy Awards ceremony was officially declared over.
At the same time, the craze for the Oscars has also boosted business in surrounding stores. Many stores on the Avenue of Stars have jumped on the bandwagon, hoping to make a lot of money.
Some shops selling souvenirs placed the Oscar statuette in a conspicuous position in an effort to attract customers' attention. There was also a restaurant selling cooked food. After receiving the news of the final Oscar win, it immediately made adjustments and ingeniously displayed the Oscar winner for Best Director.
The image of Yi Feiyang, who has won two gold medals including Best Picture and Best Picture, is branded on the surface of the hot dog and sold to diners.
Wearing a red trench coat and a cool look, Yi Feiyang smiled and groaned on the hot dog, which attracted countless diners...especially the female diners to whet their appetites.
After walking out of the Oscars ceremony, it's time for the stars to celebrate and relax. The three main carnival events "Governor's Dinner", "Vanity Fair Party", and Elton John's "Charity Party" are the most
The choice of celebrities. Among them, the "Vanity Fair Party" attracted a large number of people to attend due to its gathering of celebrities and lively atmosphere.
If the "Governor's Dinner" organized by the Oscar organizers is a more serious celebration with a higher threshold, then the "Vanity Fair Party" hosted by "Vanity Fair" magazine is a carnival party with a focus on relaxation. Therefore, after the Oscars.
The "Vanity Fair Party" held at the Sunset Tower Hotel attracted a large number of celebrities, including Yi Feiyang, the big winner of this year's statuette.
No less than 100 filmmakers were invited to this Vanity Fair party, including all the famous Hollywood filmmakers. Yi Feiyang, as a popular person at the party, shook hands and chatted with the guests attending the party one by one in the venue from time to time.
Not long after, the noise in the hall disappeared instantly. It was exactly ten o'clock, and the party officially started.
As the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair magazine, a beautiful white lady wearing a glittering evening dress walked up to the podium with a smile, and then picked up the microphone with an enchanting attitude: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is an important day. Although
The grand Oscar Awards ceremony has ended, but our carnival party has just begun. Come on, dear friends, please raise your glasses and cheers to tonight’s carnival!”
Cheerful music sounded in the hall.
The white female editor frequently raised her glass and drank with others. But her eyes were searching for someone from time to time until she saw Yi Feiyang. Then she took the initiative to walk over with a smile.
Yi Feiyang was being toasted by a large group of voluptuous and charming female celebrities. Although he had a good drinking capacity, he could not match the enthusiasm of so many people. Just when his head was getting hot, a voice said: "Congratulations, dear Yi,
You are the big winner of this Oscar!"
Yi Feiyang looked back and saw that it was the white lady who just spoke on the stage. Judging from everyone's attitude towards her, she seemed to be very energetic.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Silsa." The woman extended her hand gracefully.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Xilsa." Yi Feiyang gently shook her hand politely.
Smooth, delicate, and elastic, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that it was the hand of a woman in her thirties.
"Haha, in fact, our Vanity Fair magazine wants to do an Oscar column, so we hope you can accept our interview..."
Yi Feiyang was not interested in this kind of interview. He shrugged and said, "You just said, this is a carnival party, right? Then let's just enjoy the music and wine and not talk about business for now, okay?"
Silsa was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that her sincere invitation would be rejected by Yi Feiyang. You know, "Vanity Fair" magazine is the most publicized and well-known magazine in the United States. There are so many Hollywood stars vying to be on the cover of the magazine.
Yes, but the person in front of me rejected me? God, did I hear it wrong?!
"Ahem, I want to understand. Are you rejecting me by saying this?" Silsa couldn't help but ask.
Yi Feiyang showed a smile that could charm any woman to death, "No, I just want to say that after the Oscars, I may be busy, yes, very busy, so it will be difficult to spare time to participate in your interview. That's it, please.
understand."
Facing Yi Feiyang's charming smile, Xilsa, who had always believed that she had read countless people, couldn't help but her heart beat. She said in her heart, this man is so charming.
"Oh, it's okay, we will try our best to accommodate your time... In fact, it only takes an hour of your time to conduct our interview!"
"Okay then, I hope you won't ask too many difficult questions then. You may know that I'm not very good at facing the camera!"
"Oh, it doesn't matter. I will take care of you then... Haha, Yi, you are so charming. Are all directors who have won Oscars like you?" Silsa couldn't help but hold her hand.
Yi Feiyang's hand caressed.
Yi Feiyang: "..." Looking at Anne Hathaway who was looking here from time to time not far away, Yi Feiyang took his hand out of Silsa's hand with some embarrassment, "Ahem, thank you for your compliment, maybe
It's because you drank too many bars..."
"No, I didn't drink too much." Silsa's eyes were charming, and she leaned close to Yi Feiyang's cheek and whispered softly, "If you want, we can go upstairs and get a room. Yes, no one will disturb us.
How about it?"
Yi Feiyang felt itchy on his cheeks, and Xi Ersha breathed out a soft orchid breath, especially the fragrance of champagne coming out of her mouth, which was extremely alluring...
"Ahem, I'm sorry. I know it's rude to refuse your invitation like this, but... I'm sorry, I already have a girlfriend!"
Silsa didn't expect Yi Feiyang to be so loyal. She glanced at Anne Hathaway not far away with some envy. The longing that existed in her heart immediately disappeared. Instead, she had a thought of appreciation and smiled at
Yi Feiyang said: "You are a good man! Anne Hathaway is really happy!"
Yi Feiyang shrugged, unable to comment.
…
The banquet continued to be a lively scene, and everyone raised their glasses and drank with ease. As the celebrity of the banquet and the lucky winner of the Academy Award, Yi Feiyang got rid of Xi Ersha's "entanglement" and was attracted by a large group of beauties.
Female celebrities were chatting around. An inconspicuous Chinese man next to him couldn't squeeze in no matter how hard he squeezed.
He is a director from Taiwan. He studied in the United States, first studied theater directing at the University of Illinois and received a bachelor's degree in drama, and then went to New York University to study film production and received a master's degree in film. Now he can openly
Tell people that I am a director.
Yes, he is a director, but his fame is basically in Taiwan. The movies he shot that are considered to be good are "Pushing Hands" and "The Wedding Banquet", and his name gradually became popular with these two movies.
People know that his name is---Li Jian.
Now Li Bian has come to Hollywood. He has worked hard for five years and filmed three movies, "Sense and Sensibility," "The Ice Storm" and "Ride with the Devil." Unfortunately, these three movies were not very successful. According to Li Bian's words
To be honest, he is not quite used to the production methods of big Hollywood studios, but he also regards this as an experience.
Hollywood producers are all very practical businessmen, especially Chinese directors like Li Yin, who have already made movies but suffered failures, and have been blacklisted... Therefore, Li Yin has no work during this period.
There is no money to be made, and in terms of life, the wife is solely responsible for supporting and feeding the entire family, including him.
Li Bing didn't want to be a softie, yes, very reluctant, so he took the initiative to look for opportunities, hoping that someone would invest in his own drama. Now, he has a very good script, a very good script, but unfortunately he has found several Hollywood companies.
It is understandable that no one from the movie companies is willing to invest, just because this movie is a Chinese martial arts film. How can these ghosts understand the profoundness of Chinese martial arts culture?
Li Bian was a little discouraged. He was considering returning to Taiwan if it didn't succeed again, or going to Hong Kong to raise funds. No matter what, this drama was his dream.
This year's Oscar Awards ceremony just started, and Li Bian took the opportunity to participate. His purpose was very simple, not to see who won or won the award, but to see if there was any chance of finding investors.
It's a pity that he is very stupid. When he comes into contact with some seemingly good film company producers, as long as he says that they are shooting Chinese martial arts films, the other party will curl their lips and express disinterest. Some even sarcastically say: "Oh my God."
, are you going to use Hollywood money to make Chinese-language movies? It’s really ridiculous! If you are willing to make a cowboy scene, maybe I can sponsor you for a hundred dollars!"
It was amid such ridicule that Li Bian saw the award-winning Chinese director Yi Feiyang. At that moment, Li Bian's mind immediately brightened.
Yes, why not try him?!
So Li Jian followed Yi Feiyang to the party. Unfortunately, because there were too many people surrounding Yi Feiyang, he never had the chance to talk to Yi Feiyang alone.
"Be patient for a while, there will always be a chance!" Li Bian said to himself.
…
As the most carnival party after the Oscars, Yi Feiyang was really drunk. Originally, Anne Hathaway was by his side to protect him and let him drink less. However, Anne could not protect herself in the end. Those female stars
They tried every possible means to separate her from Yi Feiyang, which made Annie extremely depressed.
As for Yi Feiyang, who is said to never get drunk after a thousand cups, he is already a little dizzy, especially... he needs to go to the toilet now, yes, the toilet!
Following the instructions, Yi Feiyang suppressed the smell of alcohol and walked to the door of the bathroom. At this time, he felt a little nauseous and the wine wanted to pour out. He rested for a while holding the wall with his hands, and then entered.
Holding one hand on the wall, he aimed at it... Blah blah blah, blah blah, just when he felt a little more comfortable, someone suddenly shouted from behind him: "Hello, Mr. Yi!"
Yi Feiyang, who was relaxing all over, was suddenly startled. As soon as he turned around, a few drops of water hit the man...
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!" Yi Feiyang looked at the unlucky man in front of him and apologized hurriedly.
Li Bian was depressed, but when he thought that he was being too presumptuous, he laughed and said, "I'm the one saying I'm sorry. I shouldn't bother you at this time."
After briefly washing his hands, Yi Feiyang looked at the familiar-looking Chinese man in front of him and said with some suspicion: "You are..."
"Oh, my name is Li Jian and I am a director. In fact, I have something to discuss with you..."
"Do you have a problem with me?" Yi Feiyang recognized who he was and was surprised, "But this doesn't seem to be the place to talk about things. Why don't we go out first and talk about it first!"
When Li Xian heard this, he said happily: "Of course that's good. Why don't we go to a small bar outside..."
…
The small bar is very mini and plays soothing jazz music. It is a special place specially prepared for those petty bourgeoisie celebrities.
Looking around, in the small bar, there were pairs of men and women talking and laughing in low voices. Only two grown men, Yi Feiyang and Li Yi, were gathered together. No matter how you looked at them, they felt disharmonious.
But at this time, neither of them could care about it. One saw a super Chinese director who was all-powerful in his previous life. The other saw a big boss who could have the opportunity to film his own new movie. They both had their own thoughts and couldn't help but be happy.
Before Yi Feiyang could speak, Li Bian said impatiently: "Mr. Yi, in fact, I have a great script that I want you to give me some advice on."
Although Yi Feiyang is younger than him, Li Yin still uses the word "you" with great respect. You must know that Yi Feiyang's current status is very important. In addition to being the best director, he is also the boss of the best movie. What's more,
Mr. Li's behavior was really bad, and his tone was unavoidably a little overly cautious and reserved.
"Don't take the advice seriously. Also, you and I are both Chinese, and we are like one family in the United States. Don't be so harsh when talking, and don't be so polite!" Yi Feiyang personally handed over a cigarette.
Li Jian took it with some excitement, and Yi Feiyang actually took out the lighter again, intending to light it for him. This time, Li Jian was not only excited, but directly moved.
How many times have we touched each other's noses when we invested in filming, and either we were ridiculed or ridiculed by others? How have we ever received such respect? What's more, the other person is a well-known figure in Hollywood.
Invisibly, Yi Feiyang's inadvertent actions and the words "we are all a family" comforted Li Bian a lot, and his mood gradually stabilized.
"In fact, my script is based on a martial arts novel by Wang Dulu..." As soon as Li Yi said these words, Yi Feiyang's heart moved.
"By the way. I wonder if you have read Mr. Wang Dulu's novel?" Obviously, Li Bian was afraid that Yi Feiyang had not read the original work and had little understanding of this martial arts novel.
"Those I have seen, although they are old martial arts, have a different flavor." Yi Feiyang said with a smile, "Especially Mr. Wang Dulu, he is the tragic sect among the five northern sects and is known as the master of writing love."
Li Bian was stunned. He didn't expect that Yi Feiyang really knew something about an "old martial arts master" like Wang Dulu.
"My script is adapted from his novel "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"..."
Sure enough!
Yi Feiyang is determined, and it seems that Li Ying is planning to film this drama.
Seeing that Yi Feiyang was listening attentively, Li Xian confidently explained the content of the adaptation.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was originally called "The Legend of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The title contains the names of the protagonists Luo Xiaohu and Yu Jiaolong, and also indicates their fate. Yu Jiaolong is the daughter of the nine admirals, although she loves
Luo Xiaohu, but in order to protect the official reputation of his father and brother, he had to marry the ugly Hanlin Lu Junpei; Yu, Luo Xiaohu got married on Lu's happy day, and Yu Jiaolong ran away, relying on the power of the stolen Qingming Sword to travel around the world; and because of stealing
"Jiuhua Secret Book" was controlled by the female thief Geng Liuniang. For this reason, she was besieged by "chivalrous Taoists" such as Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian. Later, when she learned that her mother had died and the family was ruined, she took the opportunity to jump off a cliff and met Luo Xiaohu after escaping.
However, due to the concept of feudal family status, she believed that the daughter of a noble family could not commit herself to bandits after all, so after a night of tenderness, she still rode alone in the desert with a sword.
It's just that Li Bian increased the traditional love between Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian in the original story and made them the protagonists. In comparison, the rebellious love between Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu became a green leaf.
After Yi Feiyang listened to Li Bian's script, he directly stated this point and asked Li Bian: "Why do you want to adapt it like this? Aren't you afraid of destroying the original version of the story?"
Li Jian didn't expect that Yi Feiyang would understand it so thoroughly. It seemed that he had actually read the original work.
Nonsense, the drama "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in his previous life was very popular, and Yi Feiyang took advantage of it to read Wang Dulu's original work, and even Nie Yunlan's adaptations of "Yu Jiao Long" and "Spring Snow Vase". So we talk about these
The characters are absolutely clear and logical.
After thinking for a while, Li Yin said confidently: "Actually, regarding the original work, I most admire the author's traditional approach, which is full of nostalgia for Chinese classical society and culture. To a certain extent, it is very realistic, without sensationalism or deviance, and
The design of the female character is particularly outstanding, and there is also a tragic ending, both of which are unique in martial arts films."
"But if we want to promote this drama to international release and make it acceptable abroad, we must start from the core, which is the contrast between rebellious love and traditional conservative love..."
Next, Li Bian talked about his script concept, shooting techniques, etc. to Yi Feiyang. He explained it very carefully, and Yi Feiyang also listened very carefully. Although Yi Feiyang had watched this drama in his previous life,
What is certain is that it is definitely not as fascinating and vivid as what Li Bian is talking about now.
About half an hour later, Mr. Li finished talking about what he had hidden in his heart, and then he picked up the cup and took a big sip, but he forgot that it was whiskey and not coffee, and he choked to tears.
Yi Feiyang didn't expect him to be so "unexpected" and hurriedly handed over the tissue. Li An wiped it with some embarrassment, fearing that he would make a fool of himself and lose all his previous efforts.
Fortunately, Yi Feiyang said: "I like your story very much!"
"What? What did you say?!" Li Xian asked in surprise, not even bothering to wipe the wine stains with a paper towel.
Yi Feiyang repeated with a smile: "I said I like your story, and if possible, I am willing to invest!"
This is simply great news!
Li Xian was stunned, and then he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
"God, thank you so much! Really... thank you so much!" He didn't know what to say, and he didn't expect Yi Feiyang to agree to him so easily.
In fact, for Ang Lee, who has dreamed of martial arts since childhood but has always been good at literary films, Wang Dulu's works with a strong literary atmosphere and strong traditional meaning just provide a broad space for development. What's more, originally "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" should
The one who shone brightly at this Oscar was Yi Feiyang, who flapped the wings of a butterfly because of his appearance. As a result, Li Bian still failed to recognize his talent. Now that Yi Feiyang agrees to help him film this movie, it can be regarded as a kind of guilt-free compensation.
Seeing that Li Bian was so excited that he almost spilled the wine glass on the table, Yi Feiyang said with a smile: "Okay, don't be so excited, bring the script to our company tomorrow and we will give you a reply after reviewing it.
"
"Thank you, thank you for giving me the opportunity!"
"You don't need to thank me, I should thank you!" Yi Feiyang smiled and then raised his glass to invite, "Come, let's have a drink and wish you a happy cooperation!"
"Well, let's cheer!" The honest and honest Li Bian followed in the footsteps of director N Da Da and joined Yi Feiyang's "Pirate Ship" without hesitation. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
